Hey everyone. I know it seems like I fell off the face of the earth. I am back now and hope to post as often as possible. I’ve decided to make my comeback posting a story about places I grew up eating in when I lived in West Orange, NJ as a kid.

Although I drew a blank on the name, I replied without hesitation “The bakery at the bottom of the hill on Main Street in West Orange.” He responded “the bakery, you mean THE bakery, Supreme!”

All roads lead north for the band after the holiday, as Steve Kimock prepares for two New York performances in conjunction with Phish’s December run at Madison Square Garden.  Kimock has a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving besides his underlining passion of continuously being able to make music with his eldest son.  Crazy Engine, which he set loose on the rails back in January 2009, is steaming ahead with a new found burst of creative chemistry and a new lineup alongside NOLA native ivory wrangler Melvin Seals.
